"Love" (registered as "Young In Love" and also known as "Young and In Love")[1] is the lead single from Lana Del Rey's upcoming fifth studio album. It was co-written/produced by Del Rey, Rick Nowels, Emile Haynie, Benny Blanco and Kieron Menzies.[2] On February 18, 2017, it was officially released worldwide.
Background
"Love" was registered under the title "Young In Love" during early January 2017.[3] When Del Rey was asked about the song by a fan on January 28, 2017, she responded by saying, "You're gonna love it. I'm really excited".[4] It serves as the first single from her upcoming studio album.
On February 16, 2017, a five second snippet of the song was leaked to Instagram, however the posts were later removed for copyright reasons. The next day, promotional posters advertising the music video for "Love", directed by Rich Lee, were found across Los Angeles.[5] The video edit of the song leaked in its entirety the same day before any official announcement from Del Rey or her team. On February 18, the official version of the single was rush released worldwide on all music services. Later that day she uploaded the official audio on her personal YouTube channel. Two days later, the official music video for the song was uploaded to Del Rey's VEVO account.
Composition
"Love" is a down-tempo rock influenced ballad running at four minutes and thirty-nine seconds with an approximate tempo of 99 beats per minute in the key of B♭ major. Lyrically, it describes how the nihilistic and hedonistic activities of the younger generation can make them "feel crazy" but reconciles this with the feeling of being in love. The track features syncopated drums, electric piano, synthesized strings and soundscaping that was a signature feature of the sound on Born to Die. The track was elongated slightly for the music video, featuring eight bars of instrumental introduction rather than four and a longer outro.
Commercial performance
Upon its release, "Love" was an extremely successful single, commercially. In less than 24 hours, it rocketed to No. 1 on the Billboard + Twitter Trending 140 chart, and became trending on Twitter. The official audio and official music video both became the most trending video on YouTube upon being posted. Also, in less than 24 hours, the song became #1 on the iTunes charts in 15 countries, and in the top 10 in 60 countries. It peaked at #2 on the Worldwide iTunes Song Chart. It impacted contemporary hit radio in the United Kingdom on February 24, 2017.
Critical reception
"Love" was met with a very positive reaction from many fans and critics upon release. About the song, Erica Russel of PopCrush stated "Lana returns to her shadowy, cinematic pop roots (a la 2012’s glistening Born to Die) to craft an enchanting mid-tempo ode to the hope of youth and young love."[6] Jake Viswanath from V Magazine similarly commented that the song is "an uplifting ballad that’s more than reminiscent of the Born to Die era."[7] Australian music source FasterLouder wrote "The song [...] is full ambient glam-pop madness and quite possibly Peak Lana Del Rey."[8]

Background
The official music video for "Love" was filmed in June and July 2016 and it was directed by Rich Lee. Various stills and clips taken from the video surfaced online during early February 2017, around the same time that official promotional posters for the music video were put up across Los Angeles. The music video was officially released to Del Rey's VEVO channel on February 20, 2017, after Del Rey did a quick livestream on Instagram announcing the music video. "Love" is also Del Rey's most viewed music video in 24 hours, with almost 4.5 million views in 24 hours.
Description
The video starts out as pure ’60s pastiche, with Del Rey in a white dress, with flowers in her hair — singing the song to a group of euphoric and telegenic young folks. But the video slowly reveals itself to be a sort of psychedelic vision, a moving ode to going swimming on strange planets and piloting a ’57 Chevy into the sun.

Lyrics
Look you kids with your vintage music
Comin' through satellites while cruisin'
You’re part of the past, but now you’re the future
Signals crossing can get confusing
It’s enough just to make you feel
Crazy, crazy, crazy, sometimes
It’s enough just to make you feel crazy
You get ready, you get all dressed up
To go nowhere in particular
Back to work or the coffee shop
Doesn't matter, ‘cause it’s enough
To be young and in love
To be young and in love
Look you kids, you know you’re the coolest
The world is yours and you can’t refuse it
Seems so much you could get the blues but
That don’t mean that you should abuse it
Though it’s enough just to make you go
Crazy, crazy, crazy, I know
It’s enough just to make you go
Crazy, crazy, crazy
You get ready, you get all dressed up
To go nowhere in particular
Back to work or the coffee shop
It don't matter because it’s enough
To be young and in love
To be young and in love
Uh-oh, uh-uh, uh-oh
Don’t worry, baby
Uh-oh, uh-uh, uh-oh
Don’t worry, baby
And it’s enough just to make me go
Crazy, crazy, crazy
It’s enough just to make me go
Crazy, crazy, crazy
I get ready, I get all dressed up
To go nowhere in particular
Doesn't matter if I’m not enough
For the future or the things to come
‘Cause I’m young and in love
I’m young and in love
Uh-oh, uh-uh, uh-oh
Don’t worry, baby
Uh-oh, uh-uh, uh-oh
Don’t worry, baby
Uh-oh, uh-uh, uh-oh
Don’t worry, baby
